Inside is dimly lit with several tables, a large bar, and a furry staircase leading upstairs to another bar. Service was good and the drinks were strong. I ordered the Bayou Fog. The food was tasty but nothing special, more like a solid homemade sandwich with your favorite mayo. It's good and satisfying, just not unforgettable. I had the Seafood and Sausage Gumbo and a half Po' Boy called Bo Kho, and while both were enjoyable, they're items I could easily make at home. I'd go again if invited but probably wouldn't make a special trip. If you're curious, it's worth checking out for yourself. Parking is limited behind the restaurant, the lot across the street is for Mary Mac's, and street parking or the Park Mobile app may be your best option.

The coconut cream matcha and the cherry limeade were both delicious. For apps we did raw gulf oysters 100/10 and crab claws 10/10 the sauce on them was insane. I had catfish basket, the seasoning on the fries was great and the fish perfectly crispy outside with a soft meltiness to the fish. Tartar sauce tasted homemade. The crab legs were good with a little kick and very smoky flavor which brought out a bit of sweetness. For dessert the ube pie was 10/10 I love a good dessert that doesn't make me feel stuffed and ready to lay down and this was perfect Would absolutely go a million more times def recommend making a reservation

I've been to Louisiana Bistreaux several times over the years, but it had been a while since my…read morelast visit. I was staying at a hotel in Buckhead and noticed they were right next door, so I decided to stop in for happy hour. The service was excellent, and everyone was so friendly and welcoming. Their happy hour is one of the best in the city, especially if you're an oyster lover! Monday through Friday from 3-5 p.m., they offer $1 raw oysters, $2 Oysters Rockefeller, and $1 peel-and-eat shrimp, which is such a good deal. While their regular menu is really good as well, this visit was all about happy hour, and it definitely did not disappoint. I'll absolutely be back for the oysters!

It is exciting to find a restaurant serving great Cajun food (probably my favorite cuisine)…read more They have all the dishes you'd expect from a serious Cajun restaurant. Multiple stuffed and topped redfish options, lots of crawfish, and plenty of dishes that require a roux (all things that lesser restaurants are clearly afraid, or unable, to offer on their menus). For me, most importantly, they have crawfish etouffee. Any other dinner items will have to wait till a future visit. It was terrific, made from a hearty roux, with lots of crawfish flavor. It was a more tomato-y variety of etouffee than I make for myself, but it was excellent in a different way (the tomato presence was good -- neither sour nor bland). Service is great, attentive but not obtrusive. Plus, they have live jazz music -- even though I was there too early for the live music, it's important to support restaurants that make the effort to have real musicians. Nearly everywhere in Atlanta has very kind people and very good food, but I will still try to stop by the Louisiana Bistreaux next time I'm visiting the friendly sweltering inferno that is Atlanta.

Our server was very nice and answered all of our questions. We got the crab dip to start and it was flavorful and a great start to our lunch. My friend ordered the gumbo and said it was very good with a good kick. I got the crawfish mac n cheese which was delightful and a perfect portion in my opinion. I did not find it spicy for anyone who's afraid of spice. We finished up with the beignets and they were fluffy and sweet and just right. Can't wait to come back and try some more of their dishes and some of their drinks.

Also, they purchased the business besides them so they have a bar area upstairs as well. This place is huge. I sat at the new section and was pleasantly surprised that it is set up like a sports bar. I ordered a 20oz $5 Abita Beer (well worth it), Double smash burger with fries (highlight of the meal), $2 taste of bread pudding (worth trying), and the Boudin balls (not much flavor but a lot of food).

Not the vibe. Props for having vegetarian red beans and rice on the menu, because that's rare. Unfortunately, whoever was on seasoning duty must have called out that night. Completely bland. Nothing. I can't imagine that's intentional, so I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt, but I'm not coming back to find out. The crawfish po'boy was okay. Not a memorable experience overall.

The space is a comfortable small-to-medium setup with decent indoor seating and a few tables outside if you want to people-watch. I ordered the Jambalaya - NOLA-style mixed rice loaded with chicken, sausage, and shrimp. As a Nigerian, my standards for seasoned rice are naturally sky-high, but this was flawless. Everything was delicious, absolutely no notes. But the real cheat code here is Angie's Bread Pudding. I never leave this place without grabbing some to go. It's the undisputed star of the show and honestly one of the best desserts you'll find in Atlanta. Hands down a must-visit downtown spot.

The only reason I can't give them the full 5 stars is because they were out of bacon when I went. I ended up getting the egg, ham, and cheese croissant with potatoes, and it was SO good. The croissant had a slight sweetness to it that tasted like there may have been a little syrup added, and I loved it. The sweet and savory combination with the ham, egg, and cheese worked really well. The potatoes were good too, and between those and the croissant, the meal was surprisingly filling. I ate breakfast and stayed full for basically the rest of the day, which almost never happens for me. I would absolutely come back, especially if I can get my hands on the bacon next time!

So I'm all about New Orleans food so I had to give it a shot. Cafe Bourbon Street is a food truck…read moreso it's not a standard brick and mortar (at this location) so just keep that in mind. If you are going to try to go, make sure you download the app so that you can order your food and get it in a timely fashion. They run it as first come first serve so it gives you a better chance to get in and out as soon as possible. Service was good, I don't have any complaints. You're waiting around but everybody's nice and friendly who's taking your order. I ordered the food while I was on the freeway and by the time I got there it was just getting done and bagged so that worked out really well. Again, I would 101% suggest you download the app instead of getting it and waiting around. When I was there to work a lot of people there but I know that there could be quite a bit of people there giving the fact that I read some reviews on it. So you want to go ahead and make sure you do your due diligence. I went with the Cajun fried shrimp and the jambalaya egg roll. The Cajun fried shrimp was good, it could have used more seasoning but I understand that you want to make sure that you don't inundate somebody with seasonings because they may not like it and once you put it on you can't take it off. But if you're coming for New Orleans food, I want to hear and feel and taste that spice! But the shrimp was good. I actually did dip it in some cocktail sauce when I got home, just to help it alone but I would get it again though honestly. I don't really do beignets but I had to try it just because why not lol. If you like them, you will be satisfied I assume. They come with maybe three of them or so, Dusted and all the powdered sugar that looks like snowfall lol. They also have shrimp that is sauced in a sweet and spicy sauce kind of situation and now it's actually really good as well. These sauced up shrimp came dripping with sauce and had green onion garnished on them as well. Really good. I didn't need anything extra for them, like the casa sauce I use for the regular fried shrimp. Solid attempt! Next time I would probably consider getting that instead of the regular but I want to see what the regular tasted like first and foremost before I bitch it off into sauces! Now I've saved this for the last part of review, the jambalaya egg roll. This joint was a hit! It came in too long egg rolls couldn't have and it was drizzled in some beautiful spicy sauce. That situation right there was a winner! That could have been the meal and I would have been happy lol. Well I would have wanted more but you get the point lol! You can make out large rings of sausage, rice, everything you would find in jambalaya. That joint was bussin with flavor, that I didn't know I needed until that moment in time. When I go back, most likely so. The guy who was at the front of the truck was super nice and super friendly and very inviting. I would definitely like to go back for more. Now just as a precaution, it is a food truck so unless you eat it there some of the things may not hold up in the car ride home depending on how long it takes. For example the French fries were nothing special and I think that they suffered because of all the steam made them soggy. Now I will say there are people out in the parking lot in in the area of the food truck who didn't even wait to get home, they just start smashing the food in the car and at the seat they were sitting at. I understand why because it's going to be hot and fresh right off the gate! Either way, just want to let you know that consideration because fried food doesn't always hold up when it's putting a steam box so keep that in mind. But either way it goes, this was a win.

It was a Saturday night but we were a little on the earlier side for dinner so the wait was less than 30 minutes. WELL worth the wait! The atmosphere is fun and casual. Many people were celebrating birthdays with large parties. We ordered the seafood fondeaux based on my friend's recommendation and it was excellent. I ate way too much for sure but it was hard to stop! I ordered the Chicken Ooh La La with angel hair pasta and added on a side salad. I tried the ginger citrus (house) dressing and wasn't sure what to expect but I was very pleased. Not overpowering ... perfect mix of ginger and citrus. The Chicken Ooh La La was excellent as well and needless to say I took most of it with me. My husband ordered the Poo Boy (half portion) with fries. He said it was excellent as well and the half portion was just enough. Service was excellent as well. The young lady that waited on us was super friendly and accommodating. The staff also comes around in NOLA fashion and throws beads on you which was a fun experience. I would definitely return to Henry's but for now I look forward to my leftovers tomorrow!
